In the tech industry, you always gotta keep changing tools but this time it seems like a pretty big change from vscode to shovels
Coocking shovel, for work in fastfood 😂
I mean, they are equally heavy...
Shovels are too flashy and moden. I prefer digging sticks. You can customise them to your needs, mine even has a stone shovel attachment.
It’s not that kind of mining
So primitive! Use drills for a better workflow!
Thanks Jeff for my daily dose of optimism
Imma go sharpen my pickaxe, never know how things will go
Lemme grab that hoe , imma go farming.
Optimism😂
@@alvaromendoza4406 i will search white label floppy pickaxe, put my logo and sell it to junior software developer
Hehe
Imagine losing staff and customers not because your product is crap, or your working conditions horrible.... But because you chose the wrong bank
Good thing you always use the right bank + slave labor to minimize your cost because you promised folks houses when you only had tents. Lol.
Maybe it would of been better to diversify the cash flow to other banks?
You're oversimplifying it. If you're a tech startup and put all your money in a single bank, you needed a CFO/Accountant that would have advised against that or you should have had business insurance for the appropriate amount. Refusing to do either means you intentionally took on the risk and I don't feel sorry for the c level people of said tech startup. Sucks that the people they hired may lose their jobs though.
@@Phaceial dealing with multiple banks accurs more costs, business insurance does not cover the cost of bank failure.
Hell, if the bank was at least doing something sketchy maybe it would be a due diligence issue, but they were buying fucking bonds. The government literally ows them that money. It would be an advance more than s bailout
welcome to capitalism!
I moved to NYC to work in film back in 2018, lost job and had to move due to covid policies. Started investing in crypto in '21, then learned to code after crypto crashed in '22. Looks like I'm right on schedule to get fucked again.
Oof
nah you'll be fine. there's still plenty of tech jobs in the 'real' economy. you might just have to work for a mining conglomerate instead of a startup selling NFT greeting cards for pets.
Your comment started off as one of those comment chain spam. The last line was killer.
I am learning code and thinking to change job for programmer one. But looks like it will be tuff
I've been fucked over every two years too lol
In different ways, but similar story
Loved the "learn to mine" pun. I guess this is a reference to that news from a few years ago when some journalists suggested miners to learn coding to move away from the fossil-fuel industry
Double entendre if he also meant mine for bitcoin, since it carries value on its own, especially when fear of (hyper)inflation pops up. BTC did bump up as a result of SVB failing.
@@subz424 the fact that Russian gov brought btc shows how valuable and one can rely on
The ultimate UNO reverse
Journos got pissy when layoffs started and people told them to learn to code XD

underrated comment
Global financial markets have been significantly impacted by SVB's demise, prompting investors to sell off bank equities hastily and reevaluate their interest rate expectations. I am a $350,000 investor who is at a crossroads and wondering if it is wise to hold onto securities that are losing value. I want guidance on the best approaches to maximizing my returns in this negative market.
It is unlikely that the market will experience big gains anytime soon in light of the latest developments involving SVB, therefore it is prudent to set reasonable expectations and get ready for a potentially protracted recovery period. It is advised to postpone making big investment decisions until the economic climate in areas of concern has stabilized. It is best to take precautions and stay out of the current disturbance.
During market downturns, investors should remain committed to reputable companies by maintaining or growing their investments, as well-managed businesses eventually regain their former strength. To find the best entry and exit points for long-term gains from stock appreciation, get advice from a financial expert. Gains from working with an investing advisor can be substantial, as was demonstrated during the pandemic when a gain of $530k in just 8 months was realized.
@@MarkFreeman-xi3rk Could you kindly leave your investment advisor's contact information here? I absolutely must have one.
My advisor is Margaret Johnson Arndt , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
she actually appears to be well-read and educated. I just did a Google search for her name and found her webpage, I appreciate you sharing
SVB’s real problem was the homogeneity of their depositors. A liquidity crunch in the startup scene meant that pretty much all of their cash was gone. Had they had a more diversified pool of depositors, this wouldn’t have stung as badly
thats just one of the signs why tech bros thinking they can disrupt everything is such a shit situation to be in. people who have no idea how something works coming in and learning everything by making mistakes is not something we need to go through
But that WAS theur selling point
They had incredible products and UI for that industry, hence why their business worked
No their real problem was that they owned tresury bonds.
Specialized banks exist outside of SVB. Not every bank is JP Morgan. Banks need to do their treasury operations properly, and that's where SVB fucked up.
The real problem is not the depositors at all. svb is not even that big, the issue lays underneath.

We fail to realize that banks are commercial enterprises that are driven by greed as well. The over-leveraging of assets by banks starting in 2020 was one of the factors that led to SVBs collapse. I’ve never felt secure keeping a large sum of money in a bank I rather made investments with the guidance of an investment advisor, reap the benefits and then save for retirement.
It’s a good time to buy and basically I’ve just got cash sitting duck in the bank and I’d really love to put it to good use seeing how inflation is at an all time high, who is the financial advisor that guides you, mind i look them up.
My financial advisor is "COURTNEY HEATH WILLIAMS" He's highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. He has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversification and is considered an expert in the field, he has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
@@Gabrielle..That’s impressive! I could really use the expertise of this advisor, please how do I connect with him?

I'm at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping 200k stocck portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?
@Lloyd Bernard I agree, having a brokerage advisor for inveesting is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having inveesting nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $850k with the help of my advisor from an initial $120k investment

Fun fact: there's an open diamond mine in Arkansas where you can go and mine, and you can keep to yourself what to find. On average, a diamond is found once a day.
What’s it called?
@@ItsVab Crater of Diamonds State Park
Its more fun to dig for quartz in central AR cause at least its pretty common and theres some big crystals on occasion
WTF. How has the government allowed this? Usually when you find something like that, the government comes down FULL FORCE and ceases all the stuff. And if not government, some private company does that with shady deals. I am surprised the government didn't "derail" a train with toxic waste or something near that area to drive everyone away. Very Interesting.
diamonds are pretty common, I don't think anyone could make a fortune selling them

This whole SVB situation really makes me think about the state of banking here in Canada. In the US there's a lot more smaller banks, while here there's only like 5 big ones and some credit unions. If you're running a start up you're probably depositing your funds in a major bank cause you don't really have a choice.
That adds stability, but at the cost of a banking oligopoly.
The software developers yearn for the mines
you look out the window and the landscapers look pretty happy. sunshine, fresh air, well defined goals... if it paid a little better i'd be gone already.
@@RealJohnnyDingohat landscape? The demand is for coal.
A dirty underground coal mine where's hot, humidy and there's no sun light.
I went through the whole recruiting process with a startup and I was just waiting for their offer. Today they gave me the announcement that they're having a hire freeze for at least the next couple of months :(
I'm really sorry to hear that. Hope they reach out soon. Hang in there mate, and try to apply elsewhere in the meantime.
This happened before in history, (don't remember when), a ton of people withdrew money in a haste and collapsed the bank.
Great depression. Classic 1930s.
So glad I watched this! Going to be starting my first day at my mining bootcamp tomorrow!
"mining bootcamp" 😂😂😂
People love bootcamps, where do I get a bootcamp creation bootcamp?
OK. I'm liking this.
And the video, too.
OK, this is epic
Me also
These news report are really awesome. I want more !
Dude the ending was Fire and Based AF. Literally CAN'T STOP LAUGHING.
I was hesitant to watching this video first thing in the morning with tea (before starting to code) because I didn't want to start my day with negativity, but your style of adding humour AND giving more info with less bias and a good balance between "THE WORLD IS GONNA END" and "NOTHING TO LOOK HERE" gaslighting, just made my morning whilst keeping me informed and in a good mood.
THANKS. After I have done my coding for the day, I will start looking for Mining jobs nearby. Maybe you should start a channel for that, to help coders get the best mining jobs. I don't think any of us can last a day mining for coal or cobalt, but may be mining for certain shiny stuff or salt is do-able ;D

It's actually pretty massive news. Ftx level even.
@@SigFigNewton while in theory, yes, FTX only held 32bn and SVB held 170bn, SVB is a FTIC insured bank which means a not insignificant part of those 170bn are secured. FTX however was neither a bank or FTIC insured which means a total loss of those 32bn is somewhat possible

Love this kind of content from you.
Brilliant!!! …Great video 👏
Best breakdown yet. Top 10 greatest code reports of all time
The 'amusing' thing is that if the techbros hadn't created avrun on their own bank, it would probably have been fine. If the bonds and T-Bills gad been allowed to mature, they'd have received the full, if low, value. But since they had to sell them early to provide liquidity for everyone demanding their money all at once, they had to take a loss on them, and they quickly ran out if stuff they ciuld sell fast enough.
Yeah, fear causes more problems than it fixes
Peter Thiel caused this.
Those low-yield bonds are everywhere. In pensions, other banks, other countries, the FR even has a bunch on their balance sheet.
Excellent !
Tank you
Love these code report vids, keep up the great content
the issue spread towards the UK just earlier today the pm made an announcement saying that although it didn't affect the UK startups that much the fact it that it didn't sounds really FUCKED...

Allegedly their risk manager was playing host managing holding parties instead of risk. They also knew they were fucked long ago since buying bonds & interest raise didnt happen yesterday.

The ending! Pure gold! Good thing I know how to mine
Quick followup to my previous comment: It turns out one of the guys running SVB was a former Lehman Brothers Executive. I mean, how does THAT guy still get a job considering his resume is "Hi, I helped crash the economy in 2008."
Because banks are institutions of public trust ;-)

@@1stblackpm they are already shut down. They are no longer a going entity. The depositors might be made whole (via swap with a calendar spread), but the shareholders and the bond holders will not, obviously. That’s not what most people think of when they think of a “bail out“.
Actually... there are reports claiming that about 50% VC backed startups are SVB's customer in the US. There will be many companies unable to release payrolls if SVB is still on fire. That plus recent reports are claiming the incident has affected UK, Singapore and China as well, things are not looking good.
The money is in US government bonds. The US government quite literally ows them the money. They're going to get said money from the government ether now or when the bonds mature.
I have already started learning mining thank you
I'm pulling all my money out first thing tomorrow, barely any of the deposits have bene revealed yet.
GET YOUR MONEY WHILE YOU CAN!!
If you're under 250k while you can is basically any time you like. FDIC is government run so there's no such thing as running out of money.
If you're over 250k, you can take out 250k and the rest is locked up until the bonds are sold.
So panic all you like but there's exactly nothing anyone can do at this point exept wait.
The only thing missing from the Doomed Tech Startup Starter Pack is the, "do you have time to sync?" slack/microsoft teams message
Nice Video!!! To the Joke at the end, do you really think developers will be fully replaced by A.I.? Im not quite sure. It seems to be not that far away anymore...
That part was him joking.
Developers won't be replaced by AI, developers will be replaced by developers who use AI. Also wait until a bunch of people realize that by solving the problem of having to spend hours manually writing code, they introduced the problem of having to spend hours trying to debug code they didn't write that is riddled with bugs. Developers who hate having to debug other people's code (aka all of them) are in for a rude awakening IRT the abject unreliability and fallibility of LLMs which don't know what they're talking about and are just parroting statistical probabilities.
Modern AI is just models trained over a huge set of data. That means they're only as good as the data fed into them and that data has its limits. I'm sure a portion of the dev job could be streamlined by AI, but anytime you have any specificity that deviates from the norm to fulfill business requirements you're gonna need software engineers to step in and either aid the AI or simply do it themselves the traditional way. I see it as being a beneficial tool under the developer belt rather than a replacement for devs. The software engineer position is gonna evolve and change massively, it might even reduce the number of job positions by squeezing out the people hanging at the lowest level, but it will not replace experienced and competent devs if they can keep up with the changes. I feel like we're still a long way to go from that though. I'd be much more worried as a cashier in regards to job security at the threat of automation.
People who don't know how to code can have vague ideas that require follow-up questions. AI could take some instruction like "make a website that lets users sign up for an email list" and produce some code from it, but who's going to figure out if it made what the asker wanted? Is it riddled with bugs and privacy violations?
Eventually, definitely. In the near future? Not at all. But developers will be able to use AI to be much more productive, which would shrink the job pool. Which, as someone who just put everything into getting into the industry during the intersection of AI and layoffs, really fucking sucks.
Excelent take :)
That ending was amazing, lol!
The company my Ex works for had all their investor's cash in SVB. I think it's great.
Miserable much?
I don't think the average software engineer works at a tech startup - but I would be interested in the stats! Just how many software engineers DO work at a startup vs. more stable companies?
the people working for the tech start up are obviously wondering if they will get that next check. A more obvious question is if the start up had that much money to put in the bank in the first place, why wasn't that money put into multiple investment vehicles rather than dumping it into a single bank. even people who are making more than what they need to live know that its good to diversify their money and keep some somewhere else just in case something like this happens.
Stable companies have been contracting tech startups that have been delivering half baked implementations for a while that engineers at the stable company have to bandaid fix edge case solutions because the stable company can't burn anymore money on the new tool that was going to replace us.
I see this as an absolute win
@@earld1403 what? That is crazy, is that for real?
@@NormCantoral A startup with $1M in the bank only has runway for a year assuming 10 devs earning $100K each (ignoring taxes and stuff to simplify). The startup world is different. They raise capital not to put into index funds but to try and "disrupt" some industry. Practically, that means churn through money to try and get a lot of people to download some half-baked app.
Hopefully stack overflow adds this to their survey
You have just the best sense of humor. I love it.
Bro I'm just starting my career and the whole industry is collapsing. I'm seriously considering going into factory work.
It's just the rowdy side of the industry going wild, most jobs are outside "tech" companies.
